If something goes down 10% and then up 10% are you back where you started?

No because the decrease is from a bigger number.

E.g., 100 - 10 =90 + 9 = 99

Screenshot of a bullet point from the linked page: Creation of the Administration for a Healthy America (AHA), which will combine multiple agencies — the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) — into a new, unified entity. This centralization will improve coordination of health resources for low-income Americans and will focus on areas including, Primary Care, Maternal and Child Health, Mental Health, Environmental Health, HIV/AIDS, and Workforce development. Transferring SAMHSA to AHA will increase operational efficiency and assure programs are carried out because it will break down artificial divisions between similar programs.

RIP SAMHSA / HRSA. Fingers crossed for the TTC Network, the Opioid Response Network, and countless other people and teams trying to help reduce harms from drug and alcohol use. #medLibs

No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws.

The ADA is law.

This matters to EVERYONE. If you don’t need it now, wait.

Trump-numerous states introducing Bible literacy classes, giving students the option of studying the Bible.  Starting to make a turn back?  Great!
Rabia O’chaudry-according to the Bible you should be put to death for adultery.

Bird flu outbreaks are driving up egg prices for families.

Now, Elon Musk wants to shut down USAID, the agency responsible for monitoring outbreaks in dozens of foreign countries.

With egg prices increasing grocery bills, why halt efforts to prevent a U.S. bird flu crisis?

Trump's claim of routing water to Los Angeles is hogwash. It all goes to Central Valley megafarms. "It’s an attempt to tie water supply to a natural disaster, but those connections don’t exist in reality.”

Even if Los Angeles were low on water, Trump’s executive orders wouldn’t help with that, because the federal government’s canal system doesn’t actually deliver any water to the Los Angeles area.
